There are 2 classified files on the bombing in the UK Archives which will opened in 2040!
MEPO 2/11089 and MEPO 2/11090
- Metropolitan Police investigation into an explosion aboard BEA Comet G-Argo over the Mediterranean Sea on 12 November 1967 resulting in the death of all passengers and crew. (Please note the change of the file month from October to November)
Why are these files kept secret after 50 years?
if anyone out there has any ability to access them, i believe we will find the answers.
Some facts the US Navy offered to salvage the plane - the British Government rejected why?
The Cyprus Government still officially calls it an ACCIDENT - NOT A BOMBING
If anyone has contact information of the families of the Pilots or anyone else on the plane PLEASE forward them to me.
I have upto now contacted 4 families who lost loved ones and they all want to know why?
Three of these families had children which were born shortly after the bombing or just before. These people are now adults and have never met their father or mother.

Open Letter
To Ex. Matthew Kid
. United Kingdom Commissioner in Cyprus
Nicosia
Mr. Kid,
The recent air tragedy over Ukraine has upset the whole planet for the loss of so many innocent people, for unscrupulous for some obvious political reasons. And we firmly agree that the culprits and reasons for sacrificing so many lives have to be explored in depth and revealed, without having any interference with the politics in the Ukraine or anywhere else, and if it is possible to punish the culprits. The UK requires immediate and in-depth research. We agree and welcome.
However, they must first, as they say, Caesar's wife should not only be honest but also appear to be honest. And London has to clear up its own orchard first, to be convinced of what it demands from others.
This case brings to our minds our own tragedy with Cyprus Airways flight CY 284, October 12, 1967, blasting over Kastelorizo (100 miles east of Rhodes), killing 66 people, including the crew.
The airplane was Comet No. British Airways G-ARCO registration. It started from London as a BA flight and in Athens it changed and Cyprus Airways flight CY 284 to Nicosia.
A thorough British investigation was carried out and confirmed that the plane was bombed by a bomb. There is plenty of relevant documents in the British State Archive, which we investigated and published in our research in London's "Freedom" newspaper in two successes. (Also republished in other media). We covered all the details at our disposal from the documents, except the most critical point: Who is responsible for the bomb. The answers are in two files of the British Metropolitan Police which are recorded in the State Archives but censored for release until 2040!
So, if the United Kingdom is sincere in its demands for great light on the tragedy of Malaysian Airlines, it must, first, release and release all the truth about the blowing of the British comet flight CY 284 of Cyprus Airways, who are responsible, reasons and names. It is neither sufficient nor satisfying to invoke various pretexts, which common sense misplaced to keep the answers sealed, with one file closed for 68 years and the other for 71! (A related letter to British Prime Minister David Cameron, dated 21.12.2011).
